Before the Spill

The drinking water for 40 million people is unnecessarily at risk due to an out-of-date oil pipeline running through the open waters of the Great Lakes.

Rather than use the State of Michigan's legal authority to shut it down and truly protect the Great Lakes, in his final months of office Governor Rick Snyder is cutting a one-sided deal that keeps oil in the Great Lakes for decades to come. The benefits are overwhelmingly in favor of Enbridge the Canadian oil company and Michigan residents are done shouldering the risk.

"Before the Spill" is a self-funded independent film with no political affiliation or paid sponsorships. It was made by concerned citizens seeking to speak to their fellow citizens about Michigan and the Great Lakes region at large.
